Directions: Answer the questions on the basis of information given below.
In the Regional Admission Test (RAT) - 2012 there were three sections, Reasoning Ability (RA), Arithmetic Ability (AA) and Technical Aptitude (TA), each comprising 25 multiple choice questions. Each correct response carried four marks and each incorrect response carried a negative one mark as penalty. There were no marks for the questions not attempted. Also, there were four form numbers of test papers viz., AAA, BBB, CCC and DDD in which the sequence of the three sections (RA, AA and TA) were different and they were labeled as Section I, Section II and III.
After the test, it was observed that there were some printing mistakes in the test papers, so the questions having mistakes were omitted while calculating the scores. But it was also found that the number of valid questions (questions having no mistakes) were not the same for the same section (e.g. RA) through all the four form numbers. So the RAT - 2012 organizing committee formulated a procedure to calculate the score for each section as follows:
  • First, the actual score is calculated considering only the valid questions as per the formula: 4 X number of correct responses - number of incorrect responses.
  • The percentage score for the section obtained is expressed as a percentage of the maximum possible marks in that section - i. e., the marks one can score in the section if he/she gets all the valid questions in that section correct.
For example:
In form DDD since there were only 23 valid questions in RA, the percentage score in RA for Form DDD is the actual marks obtained by the candidate as a percentage of the total valid marks in that section, i.e., 4 X 23 = 92 marks.
Hence, if the candidate's Test Form No. is DDD and he/she got 10 correct responses and 2 incorrect responses, then his/her actual score is 38 while his/her percentage score is 38/92 x 100 = 41.30%.
Given below is the table of the maximum possible marks for each section of each of the four test forms in RAT - 2012
Given below are the performances of five candidates in RAT-2012. TA is the number of total responses (for both valid and invalid questions) by the candidate in the particular section while TI is the number of total incorrect responses (for valid questions only) by the candidate in that particular
The candidate's Total Percentage Score is the simple average of the three sectional percentage scores obtained by him/her. N, x, y and z are natural numbers.
What could be the minimum possible total percentage score (approx) of C if his form was not AAA?
For example:
If a candidate's percentage scores in the three sections are 55%, 23.96% and 41.67%, then his/her Total Percentage Score would be
= 40.21%
Q. A and B, each has a sectional percentage score of 50 in Section III. Which of these could be the possible difference between their actual scores for the section?
  • a)
    44
  • b)
    33
  • c)
    22
  • d)
    11

To understand the effect of invalid questions on the score of a candidate, consider the following table
From the above table, it can be inferred that to minimize the percentage score, a candidate should attempt the maximum invalid questions possible while to maximize the percentage score, a candidate should not attempt invalid questions.
As the percentage score is 50, the difference between their actual scores will be even because each question carries 4 marks. Hence options (2) and (4) are eliminated. Now it is given that their attempts in that section are 20 and incorrect attempt is at least 1 (N is a natural number).
So the difference between their scores cannot be 44. Therefore, the possible difference is 22.
Hence, the correct option is (c).

DIRECTIONS for question: Four sentences related to a topic are given below. Three of them can be put together to form a meaningful and coherent short paragraph. Identify the odd one out. Choose its number as your answer and key it in.1. The real power of these technical means lay not in the techniques and technologies themselves but in the disposition of those who used them, in their unshakable confidence that there were in principle “no mysterious, incalculable forces” they could not calculate and control.2. Such a technical rationality had replaced the “magical means” premodern people had used to placate gods and spirits.dence that there were in principle “no mysterious, incalculable forces” they could not calculate and control.3. Having conquered everything else, the calculating machines of modernity are now coming for our books.4. When Max Weber suggested in 1917 that the world had been disenchanted, he meant that modernity was best understood by the expansion of “technical means” that controlled “all things through calculation.” Correct answer is '3'.

Which of these could be the possible difference between their actual scores for the section?a)44b)33c)22d)11Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer? has been provided alongside types of Directions: Answer the questions on the basis of information given below.In the Regional Admission Test (RAT) - 2012 there were three sections, Reasoning Ability (RA), Arithmetic Ability (AA) and Technical Aptitude (TA), each comprising 25 multiple choice questions. Each correct response carried four marks and each incorrect response carried a negative one mark as penalty. There were no marks for the questions not attempted. Also, there were four form numbers of test papers viz., AAA, BBB, CCC and DDD in which the sequence of the three sections (RA, AA and TA) were different and they were labeled as Section I, Section II and III.After the test, it was observed that there were some printing mistakes in the test papers, so the questions having mistakes were omitted while calculating the scores. But it was also found that the number of valid questions (questions having no mistakes) were not the same for the same section (e.g. RA) through all the four form numbers. So the RAT - 2012 organizing committee formulated a procedure to calculate the score for each section as follows: First, the actual score is calculated considering only the valid questions as per the formula: 4 X number of correct responses - number of incorrect responses. The percentage score for the section obtained is expressed as a percentage of the maximum possible marks in that section - i. e., the marks one can score in the section if he/she gets all the valid questions in that section correct. For example:In form DDD since there were only 23 valid questions in RA, the percentage score in RA for Form DDD is the actual marks obtained by the candidate as a percentage of the total valid marks in that section, i.e., 4 X 23 = 92 marks.Hence, if the candidate's Test Form No. is DDD and he/she got 10 correct responses and 2 incorrect responses, then his/her actual score is 38 while his/her percentage score is 38/92 x 100 = 41.30%.Given below is the table of the maximum possible marks for each section of each of the four test forms in RAT - 2012Given below are the performances of five candidates in RAT-2012. TA is the number of total responses (for both valid and invalid questions) by the candidate in the particular section while TI is the number of total incorrect responses (for valid questions only) by the candidate in that particularThe candidate's Total Percentage Score is the simple average of the three sectional percentage scores obtained by him/her.
